I believe that we all have more potential than we know, and no matter where we might currently find ourselves or where we have been in the past, we each have the capacity for psychological and emotional growth. I have a special interest and passion providing therapy to couples, and individuals struggling with transition, and experiencing feelings of disconnection, isolation, and grief. In my more than 20 years of working in mental health, most of my work has been centered around supporting people in healing attachment wounds, trauma (complex, historical, intergenerational), and all symptoms that manifest as a result.

Counseling, to me, is a collaborative space where clients are empowered to explore, find their own path, and work towards their goals. I’m a queer, neurodiverse counselor, and while I am especially passionate about discussing gender, sexuality, and neurodiversity with clients, I enjoy working on a variety of concerns with clients of any identity or experience. Therapy with me often includes building self-awareness, learning and practicing validation, and challenging oneself to make desired changes at a realistic pace.

Hope is the driving force that brings many people to therapy. Though symptoms of anxiety and depression, including hopelessness, may be the reasons one decides to begin treatment, I believe hope for a better way forward is the underlying principle. I work with adults struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, grief and loss - essentially the challenges of being human.

Do you experience a constant and unyielding inner critic that points out every mistake and every flaw you have. Do you often feel like an imposter—not good enough and unqualified? Like you, my clients are people at the top of their class, leaders in their career, recognized creators, yet they feel unaccomplished and undeserving. They describe many moments feeling panicked and alone in their feelings. Their anxiety causes them to overextend themselves to get validation from others. They experience cycles of burnout and depression. They put their own needs last—every time. They find it hard to say no and practice healthy boundaries.

Feel overwhelmed, stuck, anxious? These are really tough times we’re living in. There’s the impending climate crisis, conflict abroad, and an increasingly polarizing political climate. Mass shootings may make you fear going to the grocery school or sending your kids to school. And even before the pandemic, there were reasons to be alert and anxious - whether microgressions at work, being told “you’re too ”- fill in the blank, or trying to figure out who you are and how to meet the expectations you and others hold for you. Life can be overwhelming; seeking help shouldn’t be.

I hold psychotherapy as a devotional practice. In the weekly ritual of therapy, I hold space for a creative and playful exploration of the psyche. Through a continuous commitment and recommitment to presence and curiosity, we open the way for the unknown to be transformed into meaning. This opening is a portal into intergenerational healing work, where energy can return to us as we reconnect with our roots and unearth our true Selves.

I work with adults in individual and couple/marital therapy. Many people start therapy when they are struggling with feelings of loneliness, frustration, anxiety, or disconnection from their partner. Others come because they are feeling frustrated that no matter how hard they try to change, they keep repeating the same patterns. Therapy is an interactive process where we address current problems and examine underlying causes. I provide a space to explore new ways of relating and help you gain insight and self-knowledge. With time, I see clients make lasting changes in their lives and heal from interpersonal wounds.

Is your relationship stuck in conflict, or feeling hopeless? You might find yourselves trapped in repeating patterns. You know communication should be improved somehow. Maybe you don’t spend enough time together. You could be avoiding each other because of past hurts you'd rather not bring up, or personal differences you've been struggling to address. You're likely not feeling as supported you could be. If any of this resonates with you, I'm a trained couples therapist here to help.

Something is calling, beckoning you to go on an adventure. You may feel resistant towards it, receptive, ambivalent, or stuck. You may feel all, some, or none of these things, but you feel pulled by the current of something greater—a longing, a curiosity perhaps, for something different, for wholeness, for a chance to know yourself. You can think of me as a companion accompanying you on your journey. I listen—concretely and symbolically—to stories told/untold, what's said/not said, what's felt/not felt, what's remembered/what's been forgotten. I use presence, honesty, and playfulness to both support and challenge you.
